Step into this striking modern home in a leafy Austin neighborhood

modern-home-exterior

Designed by architect Clayton Korte this spectacular modern home makes the most of its steeply sloped, leafy site in a neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The ownerโ€™s vision was for a refined retreat notable for fluid spaces and artful details.

Throughout the house, the flow of spaces is informed by natural light; rooms open one after another and draw one forward to discover what comes next. Two deceptively simple single-story gabled structures are connected by a glass entry foyer through a formal entry court.

The foyer greets guests with a unique oak wood floor pattern and reveals an outdoor living oasis with a pool at the sunken rear yard while bridging public and private wings on the main level.

โ€œAs the city of Austin continues to grow,โ€ notes Paul Clayton, AIA, Principal at Clayton Korte, โ€œthis residence evokes a modern simplicity while respecting the history of the surrounding Clarksville neighborhood. From the street level, one sees a seemingly single-story home, but an open tread entryway stair leads down to generous gathering spaces and bedrooms tucked below. The unfolding spaces provide a sense of discovery for residents and guests.โ€ The home includes a three-car garage.

What We Love: This modern home in Austin provides a fantastic indoor-outdoor living environment that helps to flood the interiors with natural light. Spread out over two levels, this home offers an idyllic floor plan with the main living spaces separated from the private living spaces. On the lower level, is a fabulous entertaining space with the family room connecting to a spacious outdoor area with a sparkling pool. Overall, a thoughtfully designed home for contemporary living and entertaining.

As light and shade change throughout the day, the afternoon sun pours into the master suite, which is located in the private wing opposite the balcony, through large bedroom windows and a skylight in the bathroom.

i’m not a big fan of the “separate masses” concept; it makes one house look like a duplex joined by a common passageway. maybe the idea of separate wings works well for educational institutions and other commercial contexts, but i don’t think that it finds good application in the residential context. i get that this house appears to implement a “courtyard” concept, but the “courtyard” appears to be dominated by a pool that looks to be too large for the space.
